Brace Yourselves: Krispy Kreme Starts Pumpkin Spice Season Early

Published August 5, 2022

Pumpkin spice season is arriving earlier than ever at Krispy Kreme and there’s a latte more to love (literally), including a Latte Swirl Doughnut – a take on the beverage that started it all – and Iced Coffee.

Krispy Kreme is officially kicking off the season Aug. 8 – a month earlier than the brand did in 2021.

“Sure, pumpkin spice is generally associated with fall, but true fans of the flavor will agree that August is close enough! So, we’re pulling fall forward, enabling our guests to indulge and enjoy early with delicious pumpkin spice doughnuts and drinks, including our Pumpkin Spice Latte, which you can get iced or frozen, by the way,” said Dave Skena, global chief brand officer.

Krispy Kreme’s full pumpkin spice lineup is available beginning Aug. 8 at participating shops:

Latte Swirl Doughnut: Dipped in a pumpkin spice/sugar blend and topped with a swirl of vanilla and coffee buttercream.
Original Glazed Doughnut: A classic Original Glazed doughnut with a twist.
Original Filled Cheesecake Doughnut: Original Glazed doughnut with creamy cheesecake filing decorated with cheesecake icing.
Cake Doughnut: Old-fashioned cake doughnut covered in iconic glaze.
Latte: Available hot, iced or frozen.
Iced Coffee: Iced Coffee blend.
